How to be eco friendly at home Videos

+stewart green Google apparently disagrees with your assessment.

If that's true then it may be eco-friendly but it sure as hell ain't wallet friendly.

+BloodTar probably close to middle 6 figures. you know "selling the lifestyle" haha, enjoy!

+akumie2 Nah, just pay in milk!

+EddDoubleDD No, she chose to. The difference is that he didn't make her do anything. She may live like a serf, but that was her choice.Not my thing, but I guess if my landlord would let me pay my rent in term papers (my current job - student), I would probably be willing to live with an outhouse and no juice, too.

Let's just say Google translate have many uses...

+dlwatib What a horrible way to look at things. You have the audacity to call this uncivilised? Look at what we are doing to the world in the name of 'progress' and then say that. In most civilised countries, this should be accepted as a better alternative. If you can live in it and it doesn't harm the planet why not? My goal is to one day do something like this.

+Christopher Jackson who cares about the taxman and councils..bunch of dumbass fuckers anyway

+dlwatib stuff your building codes where the masonic sun dont shine..we do thinks different here

+dlwatib you're off track dude. yes, councils have regulations but what for? to keep councils in jobs, that's what. there are MANY perfectly safe and ancient (ie well tested) forms of housing that councils don't like, even as they force you to plastic wrap your stick frame house and fill it full of junk. some people don't WANT to be filled with bpa plastics and have perceivable formaldehyde quantities in their blood stream. I for one would be 100% happy to live like this. you completely fail to understand that it has only been two (2) generations in the last ten thousand years who have had electricity and running water. Two generations. It's not exactly hard to survive the way by far the most of our ancestors managed.

Do you have constipation problems?

+dlwatib Why are you so concerned with the Regulations/codes/laws and rules? Do you think that all of those things are good? do we have better lives now that we have all these things? Are communities better? is our environment better? Are we leaving the planet in a better condition when we die by following these?Half of the population of this planet live in conditions no more luxurious than this. Indeed it looks cosy, safe, dry and well made. It has water, heat and comfort. Rather than just pointing out how it breaks rules, maybe consider the ways in which this is BETTERCostImpact on the environmentFulfilling a social needUtilising time honoured traditionsmaintaining the aesthetic of the localityThis house could stand forever with very little maintenance. Add some solar power and you have something that many people would consider idealmost importantly, when the time comes to move on, the residue from the build will just return to the earth naturallyYou seem keen that people who don't do things the way YOU think they should be done, should be FORCED to tear down their homes... maybe just open your eyes to the possibility that this may be the way forward and our last chance of adding value to the planet after centuries of raping and poisoning it

Oh please...he is happy, she is happy. So whats the damn problem?

+james emmans Maybe he covers the cash requirements for the taxman. She pays in milk, and then he covers the tax. Or maybe she pays the tax man directly in hard currency and they just didn't mention it. Long as it works, right?Or maybe the whole thing's over now since it got news coverage and the local council knows about it. But they said he was a freeholder, so I assume that means he has a enough land to qualify for the permanent camping thing. I hope, anyway for the dairy woman's sake.

This is  camping not a modern house. The rules are you can stay for a maximum of 28 days in a row. If you are on a large plot of land you can camp permanently.  Legal currency would need to change hands to be recognized as renting. The tax-man does not accept milk.  There are 30,000 of these houses in the UK and they are still been lived in perfectly comfortably. 

I found this little cottage very quaint and quite bright inside with its white painted walls. Actually, I live in a house without electricity and with only an outhouse. I enjoy it immensly, living off grid, have a thriving farm and will be laughing my socks off when the SHTF at all those who haven't a clue how to live without horrendous debt and someone else supplying all their food and amenities. And by the way... I live in the USA. So do the Amish. dlwatib, you don't need building codes to build a comfortable home that will last much longer than the crap built now WITH all the regulations. Although the basis of building codes started out with good intentions, it is once again just a governments way of soaking your pockets and keeping track of exactly what you are allowed to do.

+dlwatib In many other countries, building codes are nationwide rather than locale or jurisdiction. Here in New Zealand we have stringent building codes that cover the whole nation as we do not have states or provinces. These codes have to cover areas from the concrete jungle of Auckland city right down to the everyone-living-here-is-on-tank-water-because-we-have-no-water-mains in areas like Stuart Island and many of the rural areas where there simply isnt the infrastructure to install a grid system. No utility is going to run a pipe down a 10km farm road that has two houses at the end of it- not economically viable. No homeowner is going to foot that bill themselves whenYou should be shocked and appalled that your locale enforces such arbitrary laws. If someone here is offgrid and isn't taking care of their sewage properly, the answer  is not to ban offgrid sewage systems, rather persecute the minority who are screwing it up for everyone else. Pull the weed out at its root - rather than bombing the whole cornfield.I hear it is still illegal to collect rainwater from your roof in Washington, Colorado and Utah. Words cannot sum up how insanely rediculous this sounds to me.

+kris fro  Yes, the Garbage Warrior (Mike Reynolds) does it right and we could all be living comfortably this way. 

+kris fro  right on Kris.

The portion jars are brilliant. Now any ideas on acquiring a green friendly date? LOL!

Eco friendly mortgage eh? The real problem is home remodeling is not freindly to the enviroment. If the mortgage were to keep tabs on how much waste you create during your construction project. And limit demolition of perfectly good surfaces attatched to house. While ofcourse makeing it more efficent in energy consumption. Then It could in all honesty be considered an eco friendly loan.

Brilliant, you can do it over time, starting with water saving on shower heads and taps,,water saving drums,(rain water)for pool or toilets, Low energy light bulbs, solar hot water, even in cold climates, geyser/boiler timers, my house is very efficient !!!

These are great tips. I would also recommend cleaning your AC occasionally to make sure that is working optimally. Call Horizon Services, Delaware to you aid.

Interesting how he said making your home more green is make your home more healthy. Good interview!

its worth it. once you pay it you wont have to pay again. no more electricity on your bill.
